It’s actually seven eggs total. Our Cayugas generally lay eggs with the smallest hint of grey but when they start laying for the first time in the spring, the first eggs are almost black and gradually go greyer as the days go on. I think these odd eggs in summer happened because Bonnie had to go to the vet for several weeks with an infected foot. She doesn’t like to lay while she’s at the vet so (this is my guess) she stopped herself and restarted again when she got home. I learn something new about ducks almost every day! 🙂

Believe it or not, these are my domestic ducks’ eggs! The Cayuga lays a greyish egg (see longer explanation above). Duck eggs are not as colorful as some chicken eggs so it’s always exciting to find a special one like these once (or twice!) a year. 🙂
